:MARKers Subsystem

The Markers (MARKers) subsystem commands control up to 16 markers.

For all markers:

• Use the :MARKers:SHOW command to display any hidden markers.
• Use the :MARKers:MINTensity command to adjust the brightness of all marker information on the display.
• Use the :MARKers:HIDE command to hide all markers without changing any of the marker settings.
• Use the :MARKers:OFF command to turn all markers off and "default" their settings.

For individual markers:

• Use the :MARKers:MARKer{N}:STATe command to specify whether a marker is shown, hidden, or off.
• Use the :MARKers:MARKer{N}:SOURce command to associate a marker with a source waveform and its window and grid.
• Use the :MARKers:MARKer{N}:TYPE command to specify the marker type.
• Use the :MARKers:MARKer{N}:MNAMe command to change the marker name.
• Use the :MARKers:MARKer{N}:CENTer command to change the grid's horizontal position in order to center the marker.
• Use the :MARKers:MARKer{N}:DELete command to turn off a marker and reset the marker settings to its defaults.

Tracking Marker Positions

When positioning a tracking marker between waveform sampling points, the marker's time position and associated y-axis value may be restricted. Because there is normally an abundance of waveform sampling points on screen, you may seldom notice that a marker is restricted to specific positions and values.

Tracking Marker Positions and Values Versus Pattern Acquisition

Marker X-Axis Position	Marker Y-Axis Value
Non-Spectral Waveforms:
restricted to sampling- point position	nearest sampling- point value
Spectral Waveforms (such as created by the FFT function):
always restricted to sampling-point position	always nearest sampling-point value
